E-Safety

Keeping your child safe online

Children today have embraced new technologies as a source of information, education and entertainment. The use of digital technology has been completely normalised by this generation and it is now fully integrated into their daily lives.

Children and young people are using technology in new and exciting ways, enhancing and enriching their lives with the many tools on offer.

In their exploration of these technologies, young people are not only developing their ICT skills, but also a whole host of ‘softer’ skills – creativity, communication and networking skills, for example – which will be much in demand by the employers of the future.

Children and young people need to be empowered to keep themselves safe; we have included links below for both children and parents to give you further information on how to stay safe and aware online.
